Portland Police captured a mischievous pony near David Douglas High School Thursday morning.

The dappled grey Shetland pony, spotted roaming in the area of Southeast 144th Avenue and Yamhill Street, was detained just before 6:30 a.m. and tied to a light pole, said police spokesman Lt. Robert King.

Officers went door-to-door to find the pony's owner and are checking with Multnomah County Animal Control to determine whether the animal is registered, King said.
